  You live in Florida, your distict is Duval 32207, and your school is Landon. Click on the Remember me box so you don't have to do this everytime. Log in and go to your Library. Choose the Big BLUE button and go to ScienceFusion StudeAccess English Grade 8 .

2.  There will be a TEST next week on your second class of the week. That would be either Wednesday for  B day or Thursday for A day.

3.  ALL science projects are due in the classroom on or before 1/10 to be considered on-time. Presentations will continue each day. Some people may not be able to present before the science fair (1/15) and may not be eligible for an invitation to our school science fair. That will not affect your grade unless your project is late. If you have been in the hospital during the 2nd grading period, remember you have an extension if you need it.

4.  The ELEMENTARY FCAT EXPLORER is due on 1/15.  At 12:01 am on 1/16 I may pull scores so make sure yours is registered. This will be an assessment for the 2nd nine weeks grading period so make it a good score.

5   BONUS ACTIVITY: If you want to earn up to 10 BONUS points in the ACTIVITY section you may do the MODEL OF THE SUN Activity. It is due no later than 1/14 no matter what day you have class. Here are the directions.

MODEL OF THE SUN
Create a 3-D model of the sun showing its component parts and their temperatures. Include information to explain each component part. Include an explanation of the transfer of energy between the different components.  Top score will be 10 pts. Neatness counts as does handwriting. I will not accept 2D or messy projects. You are not guaranteed 10 points unless you meet the criteria. Late, messy, or incomplete projects will not be accepted. You do NOT need to have a foam ball to make a 3D model. Be creative.
